Back Pocket Band Software

Back Pocket Band is a new software program that allows musicians to play along and practice with bass and drum tracks. Currently, it features 9 different styles, each played in 3 different tempos and 12 different keys. Each track is played by a real bass player from scratch to maintain its authenticity.

Midi files and sheet music for the 9 styles is provided, giving musicians the ability to learn how a professional musician would play these backing tracks (full chords, voicings, licks, etc.). These midi files can be opened in our other software, Song Robot for a complete learning and practicing experience or a software of their choice (i.e. – Garage Band, Van Basco Karaoke, et al).

It’s called Back Pocket Band because it literally puts a band at your fingertips to make practicing fun, productive, and effective.

Here’s what it does:

* It gives you access to over 350 real-sounding backing tracks.

* Practice and live performance files are played in all 12 keys.

* You can choose between multiple speeds: slow, medium, and fast.

* 3 different sections, 9 styles of music, & drums-only option (…they also
give you lifetime updates and they’re already working on jazz, blues,
and funk backing tracks to release very soon).

* Instant streaming playback and automatic downloading to your system for
burning to CD, transfer to iPod, and editing.

* And much more…

1. Determining the melody – Melodies determine what chords will be played. If you can use your ear to figure out what notes are being played in the melody, you are 1/4 on your way to learning a song! More resources on learning how to determine melodies.  

2. Harmonizing the melody – Once you have figured out the melody (using some techniques on the resource page), it is time to harmonize it. This is simply choosing various chords to accompany the melody. There are several techniques and tricks to doing this. Click for more resources on learning how to harmonize melodies.

3. Altering Chords – This is the best part! Now that you have strategically figured out the melody to a song and have harmonized it, altering your chords to produce certain sounds is the next step.
